  • “For the crime of cheering legitimate terrorists, blah blah clever horseshit

    You people continue to gloss over that on one side of this conflict is a proud terrorist org who, as a matter of practice, rapes, kidnaps and otherwise specifically targets civilians for harm in order to enact their worldview.

    All of these middle-to-upper class lefties protesting on campuses would get a knife up the anus if they were caught in Hamas territory. They don’t care if you’re cheering them on from across an ocean, they still hate you and would rather you suffer and die, because you don’t fit with their religious view.

    I still feel bad for the Palestinian people and separate them from their Hamas government, as it’s obvious Hamas doesn’t care about their charge, and is using them for political capital.



  • I think it’s been conflated with simply “having self-esteem”. So many guys (and a few women), are just so meek and weird about flirting or even just having casual conversations with the opposite sex. Like they see themselves as a social burden, but they just have to approach and give weird compliments anyway.

    Like, you’ve seen sorta fugly people with attractive partners, right? Or two not-so attractive people dating? Someone had to make a move, and those people had self-esteem / confidence.

    Confidence isn’t just reserved for the physically attractive. It’s ok to value other aspects of yourself and derive your self-worth from that.

    If you’re bothering people who turned you down already, or you’re too unaware to notice, then that’s a different problem altogether. I’ve seen plenty of guys with zero confidence linger in a convo they thought was going somewhere.










  • I honestly don’t know how I feel about this. If my kid (which I do have one) was trying to pass as another gender in school, but not home, I would want to know. It’s generally not good for kids to keep big secrets like this from the people looking out for them. That’s how they end up getting in to trouble in life.

    At the same time, I’m not the kind of parent that wouldn’t support my kid through such an issue. I understand it could be dangerous for some kids to be outted to their parents, but I don’t know that we should be governing based on the worst possible outcomes, when keeping the secret could also be dangerous to some.

    It is telling to me that most of the supporters that showed up had no skin in the game. I don’t think this specific issue is as cut-and-dry as it appears at first. My mind has certainly changed on it the more I think about it.




  • I’ve always been sympathetic toward Trans people, but cases like this really illustrate how shitty it can be to just exist while Trans in America.

    With most “minorities” there are still so many of them in any given community that it’s hard or pointless to single any one out for hate. But with a Trans person you can call them out by name because they rarely have anonymity within a local collective.

    Like, this person was working a cool job, probably proud of themselves, helping kids and enjoying life. Now they’re being called out by elected State officials and online random. Being called a pedo and a freak… I can’t imagine what that does to a person.

    Now let’s find all the quotes from these people railing about “Cancel Culture”.
